'Boy Meets World' sequel 'unlike anything else on TV'

The sequel to Boy Meets World will be unlike anything else on television, exec producer Michael Jacobs has claimed.

Jacobs worked on Boy Meets World in the '90s and will also oversee new follow-up Girl Meets World.

"I look around at the landscape and I look at my children and what is on television for them, and there are very few shows that are like this," Jacobs told The Hollywood Reporter. "I think of Boy Meets World and I think of Wonder Years and I think of Happy Days, which I grew up [with].

"Since Boy Meets World went off the air, I haven't seen this kind of programming on the air. That was reflected in the reaction [to news of a sequel series], which I am extraordinarily grateful for.

"As soon as we talked about redoing the show, the response was so overwhelming and positive."
